MrGuy Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 My experience was similar regarding a clean install however: both my pc and my co-workers pc would not install using the XP Pro to Vista upgrade--it would start, install, and then bomb out on re-boot. Never got to desktop trying the Vista upgrade option. We both threw in new drives and started from scratch. Good news is I can always swap my purchased softawre back in once the demos expire, bad news is I had to install everything all over again on the new Vista drive. All my apps and updated drivers worked except for Symantec Corporate Antivirus version 10. Suppose to be a Vista Update but we couldn't find it. Also Citrix Metaframe XP drivers give you an error (which you can disable) everytime you start an app--these drivers are SUPPOSED to be compatible with Vista--NOT.

ddebacker Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Be sure to run the Migration Upgrade Advisor before trying to upgrade XP to Vista.There are a some drivers/apps that will get your upgrade to fail. Got an issue where a Toshiba App (CPL file) got my Control Panel to crash every time I tried to open it.Get the Upgrade Avisor here:http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getr...or/default.mspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
